Book Synopsis:Jacquie remembered a time when she was once a tender, caring, hopeless romantic. But happily-ever-after’s and once-upon-a-time fairytales, proved over time to be just that – fairytales. After what she feels has been “a lifetime” of true love eluding her, she loses all hope, resigning to live a single (and loveless) existence. As time passes, she shifts her focus, choosing to concentrate on her career and makes the best of it…alone. Gorgeous, artsy and charismatic was the man who Jacquie’s eyes fell upon, causing her heart to beat in a rhythm she’d forgotten existed. Michael was more than enough man to make her lose herself inside dreams of a future interwoven with the very fabric of all that defined the beauty of being in love. But just like in fairytales, there’s always something out of place. For alas, this knight in chocolate armor, was twelve years her junior – an age gap that defined a cultural difference and a major problem for Jacquie’s overbearing mother. Will pressure from family and other obligations turn their love into a nightmare? Or can Michael and Jacquie tune out the rest of the world, embrace the sweetness that they share, and build a foundation that lasts? In book two of the series, When a Man Loves a Woman: A Love Divine, is a story of hope, accepting love, embracing one’s personal truths, and making no apologies for it.

A Lesson Learned Change, isn’t always a good thing. Best friends, and young ambitious entrepreneurs Keena and Tyler are struck by an epiphany to go into business together. As things run smoothly for an extended period of time the two are then ‘struck…’ again. This time by cupids arrow. Their lengthy friendship suddenly crosses over into very new territory. But just as quickly as their love affair began. It unfortunately morphs into the dreaded ‘on again/off again’ fiasco. With both parties trying to do everything in their power to ensure it doesn’t affect their blossoming business venture. Keena eventually decides to leave New York for Florida to work on another endeavor. A decision made easier by her belief that she AND Tyler just aren’t meant to be. But can the two put their feelings for one another aside and accept that outcome? Or will they instead choose to endure these small bumps on a road that just might lead to true, unconditional love between the two of them? A sudden return trip by Keena back to New York might just hold the final answer.
